Sarah A. Parker is an international bestselling author who grew up on a farm in New Zealand, where she spent her days getting lost among the rolling pasture, building forts in the hedges, climbing trees, and exploring the forest pathways--making up elaborate stories that never lost their grip on her. She now lives in Australia with her husband, dog, three children and countless plants, and spends her days pouring her stories onto paper rather than throwing them to the wind. Her genre of choice is epic fantasy romance, and she thrives off dreaming up real, complex characters and immersive worlds to get lost in. Alessandro Valdrighi's artistic journey began with a love for comic books, evolving into a career as a skilled illustrator and set designer trained at the Accademia delle Belle Arti of Florence. Through his work, he aims to blend history, fantasy, and a touch of magic, creating visuals that resonate with audiences and bring stories to vivid life.
